Opejtb Typewriter Serial Numbers

Serial Number Table Last Edited: 01/21/18 09:02NOTE: dates shown are JAN 1 unless noted, so the serial number shown is the *first* serial number produced the given year. Exceptions are serial
numbers preceded by "up to"(where you can assume that the numbers reported in that subsection are DECEMBER 31, END OF YEAR NUMBERS)
or rows where a month is given in the month column. If the serial number is shown as a range (xxxx-xxxx) it indicates
that we know the entire range of serial numbers for the given year.

Presumably, series wrapped back around to before the 15,200,000 restart in 1974, else this is a typo and is supposed to be 16025331.

Series number jump, notable because the Gabriele 10 stays at 15 million, Gabriele 25 jumps to 18 million, and Gabriele 35 jumps to 16 million.
Perhaps this was meant to split the various models into "prefixes".
